Vegan & Cruelty-Free Hair Dye

Vegan hair dye can be a struggle to find because a lot of mainstream hair dye brands are not cruelty-free and also contain animal ingredients such as silk, lanolin, beeswax, etc. Here are some vegan & cruelty-free hair dye options.

What does vegan mean?

• Vegan simply means a product has no animal by-products in it. This can apply to food, clothing, beauty products, and many other products.

What is cruelty-free?

• Cruelty-free means a product hasn’t been tested on animals. This includes everything from the beginning stages up to the final product. It also means a brand is not selling its products in a country where they are required to be tested, by law.

What is the difference between vegan and cruelty-free?

• A product can be vegan but not cruelty-free and vice versa. Many cruelty-free products still contain animal byproducts. Some products can be vegan and not include any animal byproducts, and still, be tested on animals.

What are some non-vegan ingredients?

• The most common non-vegan ingredients in beauty products include beeswax, lanolin, carmine, fur, and silk. Other ingredients could be animal-derived as well so it is always a smart idea to ask the brand to verify if a product is vegan.
